| Summary | "Dolly Dialogues" by Anthony Hope is a collection of lighthearted and witty dialogues written during the late 19th century. The book primarily revolves around the character of Miss Dolly Foster, a vivacious and somewhat whimsical young woman, and her interactions with a number of characters, notably Mr. Carter and Lord Mickleham. The dialogues explore themes of love, social norms, and personal relationships against the backdrop of upper-class British society. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Dolly Foster and Mr. Carter as they discuss a man from their past—Phil Meadows—who has transformed from a socially awkward individual into a more presentable gentleman. Dolly laments that despite her guidance, Phil now ignores her, attributing their estrangement to his newfound social status and financial security. Their conversation drifts into various anecdotes about their social circle, underscoring Dolly's spirited personality, Mr. Carter's bemusement, and the subtleties of class dynamics. The dialogue sets a humorous tone and establishes Dolly as a central figure whose antics and insights promise to entertain as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
